You mean well, but you don't seem to see that you are in a position in which you can express a sentiment like this. As a white man in the U.S., you are dealt nothing more than cultural slaps on the wrist for the countercultural views you express.

Restricting membership in BGLOs, AGLOs and LGLOs is about more than racial discrimination. I'd be interested in hearing from all the D9 founders regarding how they would perceive the intentions of white members. In this thread, people have suggested that the founders would be honored by the attention of whites. I'm positive the founders would scoff at the presumptuousness of that idea.

Your heart is in the right place, but try to understand the issue from a non-white perspective.
